Ed Faulkner (Letters, April 1) says he is too embarrassed to admit he lives in Brighton and Hove.

This is another example of the negative letters that currently fill these pages on a daily basis from those with a vested interest in knocking the city and its council, namely a party political one.

Mr Faulkner is, of course, one of my Conservative opponents for the East Brighton ward but is too embarrassed to admit that either.

-Warren Morgan, Labour candidate for East Brighton
